Expensify + UKG
The Expensify UKG integration for UKG Pro and UKG Ready, built to keep your expense roster current
Expensify's direct integration with UKG brings automatic invites for new hires, approvals that follow UKG reporting lines, and offboarding without a cleanup list. Stop your expense roster from drifting out of date.
Key features
Automatic new-hire invites
Employees in UKG are added to your Expensify workspace and invited by work email. Nobody has to send a separate invite before a new hire's first expense report.
Reports-to approval routing
The manager relationships in UKG set who approves whom in Expensify. Choose an approval mode and a final approver, and reports follow your UKG reporting lines from there.
Offboarding without a checklist
When someone's terminated in UKG, the next sync removes them from your Expensify workspace. Expenses drop off the offboarding checklist.
One setup for Pro or Ready
UKG Pro and UKG Ready both appear on the HR page in Expensify and connect the same way. Pick the one your company runs.
How it works
Connecting UKG takes three steps and an admin on each side. See Connecting an HR integration to Expensify for the full set up instructions.
-
Turn on HR
In your Expensify workspace, turn on HR under More features. You'll need Workspace Admin access on a Control workspace.
-
Connect UKG
Go to HR, search for UKG Pro or UKG Ready, and click Connect. Sign in with your UKG administrator credentials, then choose Complete setup, pick the data to sync, and save.
-
Choose approvers
Once the first sync finishes, set the Approval mode and Final approver on the HR page. Reports then route along the manager relationships in UKG.
Benefits
A roster that matches UKG every morning
Expensify syncs with UKG once a day. New hires, departures, and manager changes show up without anyone exporting a spreadsheet.
Reorgs that don't break approvals
Move a team under a new manager in UKG and their reports go to that manager after the next sync. There's no approval chain to rebuild by hand.
Fewer accounts to chase after someone leaves
Finance doesn't need a list of who still has an Expensify login. If they're terminated in UKG, they're off the workspace.
